Pelican PS2 to PS3 adapter is Guitar Hero ready
If you're anything like us, one of the few things keeping that PlayStation 2 from being relegated to the same box that stores your Xbox, Gamecube, and (in some alternate reality) your Dreamcast, is the system's complete inability to rock out with the Guitar Hero series. Nearly six months after the PlayStation 3's launch, a peripheral manufacturer has finally realized that this whole Guitar Hero thing is ... well, it's sort of a big deal.
Enter: Pelican, and their PS6388 PS2 to PS3 adapter which, according to Aeropause, is "Guitar Hero™ 1 and 2 Ready: Plug in your favorite guitar and rock out to Guitar Hero 1 and 2 on your PS3." Unlike previous adapters, the Pelican adapter features support for multiple controllers and a PS button enabling it to bypass the PS3's back-compat limitations. Will it work with Rock Band?

Something's fishy. So again, not buying one until a third party manufacturer releases one with GH2 and Rumble support.

It's all USB right?

This thing should have been ready for launch.
Should suffice till GH3 for PS3 comes out this Christmas.

"This product does NOT work correctly with Guitar Hero II, even though it claims to. I got my guitar to work, but there is a noticeable lag between when I strum and when the system registers a hit...BIG PROBLEM! Also, as noted in the instruction manual, Star Power can only be activated by pressing "Select" and not by titling the guitar and hammer ons and pull offs do not work. At all. Lack of tilt does not bother me. But no hammer ons or pull offs??? Those are essential to playing the game. As others have mentioned, save your money and wait until GH III comes out."

@plexus: When using it with GH2, did you switch it to GH2 on the adapter as specified in the documentation?
